Kalasarpa Yoga Detector
Check whether all seven classical planets fall between Rahu and Ketu in your chart — the defining condition for Kala Sarpa Yoga — and which of its twelve types would apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kaal Sarpa Dosh mentioned in classical astrology texts?
Not in the older core texts — it doesn't appear in the Vedas, Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, or several other classical references consulted by modern astrologers. It's generally considered a more recent addition to popular astrological practice rather than an ancient classical doctrine, which is worth knowing before treating a "yoga present" result as an alarming or fixed verdict.
What's the difference between partial and full Kaal Sarpa Dosh?
Full Kaal Sarpa Dosh requires all 7 classical planets (Sun through Saturn) to fall strictly on one side of the Rahu–Ketu axis with none outside it. If even one planet falls outside that arc — shown as "Planet(s) outside the Rahu–Ketu arc" in your result above when applicable — the dosha is considered partial or cancelled rather than fully active, and its traditionally-described effects are considered much milder.
Can Kaal Sarpa Dosh bring positive effects too?
Some traditions hold that it can — the same intense focus this yoga is said to bring can, alongside real effort, translate into notable achievement, and several astrologers point to accomplished public figures with this placement as examples. It's generally treated as a marker of intensity and struggle-then-growth rather than a purely negative one.
